It is a walk-through metal detector with an integrated infrared temperature screening module. As people pass through, the gate checks for metal objects and takes a preliminary forehead temperature reading. If the temperature exceeds the threshold, an audible and visual alarm is triggered.
The system consists of the metal detector gate, the infrared temperature module, and the alarm and counting unit. Metal detection alarms by zone, while the temperature module reads forehead temperature when a person enters the detection area and triggers an alarm above the configured threshold.
If a metal detector gate is already installed, an add-on temperature module is usually enough. For a new entrance, an integrated unit takes less space and needs simpler cabling. The measurement principle is the same; the difference is installation and maintenance.
How accurate is the temperature reading? Infrared screening is a first-pass measure and is affected by ambient temperature and movement. Use it in a relatively stable indoor environment and re-check anyone flagged.
Can it run temperature screening only? Yes, metal detection can be disabled, but the gate then loses its security function.
How many people per hour? It depends on gate width and the re-check ratio; measure on site.
